The big-top tent up and waiting
unconventional circus in town
no lions, tigers, elephants
trapeze artists or juggling clowns
just rambunctious boy and girl
leading a make-believe parade
on the stage from dawn to dusk
performing with three-ring aplomb
running, jumping, swinging tall
batting balls across nightfall
apple-picking, rock-hopping
under autumn's sunshiny sky
climbing an ice cream mountain
final act of this spectacular show
the tent's folded once again, stored away
until next rendition of their gleeful play.
